Hadith 3425
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّقِّيُّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: "قَرَأَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَقَرَةَ، وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ، فَقَالَ: قَرَأْتَ سُورَتَيْنِ فِيهِمَا اسْمُ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمُ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ، أَجَابَ، وَإِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى".
It is narrated from Masruq that a man recited Surah Al-Baqarah and Al-Imran in the presence of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: "You have recited two such Surahs in which is the Greatest Name of Allah; if supplication is made with this Name, it is accepted, and if something is asked, it is granted."
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 3423 to 3425)
The Greatest Name (Ism al-A'zam) of Allah, which is found in these Surahs, is: «﴿اللّٰهُ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّوْمُ﴾». Therefore, if someone supplicates in this manner—with piety (taqwa), consumption of lawful (halal) sustenance, hope and expectation, and with humility and submissiveness: «اَللّٰهُمَّ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ اسْتَغِيْثُ»—then there is a strong possibility that such a supplication will be accepted and that which is asked for will be granted.
And Allah knows best.
